Fidelity HP Ultrafast Fiber Lasers

Fidelity HP femtosecond laser systems deliver world leading performance and unprecedented power levels, in a compact turnkey, low maintenance package. With average output powers up to 18W and short 140 fs pulses, Fidelity HP accesses high peak power regimes that truly enables a suite of applications in life sciences, applied physics, materials processing and microelectronics.

Features & Benefits

Recognizing that productivity and cost of ownership are crucial for scientific laser users, Coherent has developed a new protocol that takes key procedures from its industrial manufacturing expertise and applies them toward the design and production of scientific lasers. The results – ultrafast lasers that offer cutting edge performance and industrial-grade reliability, up-time and productivity.

Under this new protocol called “The Industrial Revolution in Ultrafast Science,” Coherent rigorously tests every laser during the design and production phases to weed out design and manufacturing weaknesses, resulting in a new level of reliability for ultrafast lasers. During the design phase, we’ve adopted an industrial-grade HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) protocol in which the system being produced is subjected to both temperature and vibration cycles in order to expose the weakest links and eliminate them. HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) is used during manufacturing to weed out any production weaknesses and ensure consistent quality of each laser shipped to our customers.

For our scientific customers, this revolution in reliability translates into higher data throughout with minimized downtime - lower cost per data point. It delivers a massive reduction in the hidden costs of owning and operating the laser and maximizes experimental productivity.

Fidelity High Power (HP)

With average output powers up to 18W and short 140 fs pulses, Fidelity HP accesses high peak power regimes that truly enables a suite of applications in life sciences, applied physics, materials processing and microelectronics.

In Multiphoton imaging applications, Fidelity’s high average and peak power enables optogenetic photoactivation of large populations of neurons, with precise spatial and temporal resolution. Short pulses are delivered directly to the sample plane by way of user adjustable group dispersion delay compensation (GDD).

Industrial and commercial applications, such as two-photon polymerization, rapid prototyping and scribing, benefit from the finesse and speed of Fidelity’s high peak power.
